I remember this thing. The tech is from America actually, decades ago. (Thorium). But they give up and china counties the work recent years

> The tech is from America actually, decades ago. (Thorium).

I guess it depends on how you see it, but regardless, the people putting it to use today doesn't seem to be in the US.

FWIW:

> Thorium was discovered in 1828 by the Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius during his analysis of a new mineral [...] In 1824, after more deposits of the same mineral in Vest-Agder, Norway, were discovered [...] While thorium was discovered in 1828 its first application dates only from 1885, when Austrian chemist Carl Auer von Welsbach invented the gas mantle [...] Thorium was first observed to be radioactive in 1898, by the German chemist Gerhard Carl Schmidt

For being an American discovery, it sure has a lot of European people involved in it :) (I've said it elsewhere but worth repeating; trying to track down where a technology/invention actually comes from is a fools errand, and there is always something earlier that led to today, so doesn't serve much purpose except nationalism it seems to me).

The tech we’re talking about is using Thorium for useful work:

"The tech is from America actually, decades ago... But they give up and china continues the work"

Many such cases...

rare earth..

Jm2c, but I really dislike those winners/losers narratives. They lack any nuance, are juvenile, and ultimately do not contribute much but noise like endless of pointless "who's better Jordan or Lebron?" debates.
